As is well known, Kanye West is no stranger to stirring up controversy.
Recently, West has been making headlines in Hollywood following an appearance by his wife, Bianca Censori, at the Grammys last weekend. She wore a completely sheer dress without underwear, which caused quite a stir.
Censori subsequently became one of the most searched individuals on Google, according to West, who himself chose a far more modest outfit for the eventful Sunday night.

In yet another contentious action, Kanye West has been leveraging his notable connection with Donald Trump, whom he has openly endorsed during his presidency.
Meanwhile, the embattled music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs is currently detained without the possibility of bail pending his trial in May.
Combs is confronted with grave accusations such as conspiracy to commit racketeering, sex trafficking through force, fraud, or coercion, and facilitating prostitution across state lines - allegations he refutes.
Despite his efforts to secure release on bail, a judge in New York has labeled Combs as 'a significant flight risk' and rejected his bail requests.

It seems West is now advocating for Combs' release, using Twitter to reach out to Trump.
"PLEASE FREE MY BROTHER PUFF," was one of his tweets where he tagged Trump.
In another explicit post, West referred to Combs as his 'hero' and 'idol.'
"THEY TRYNA PROVE A POINT AND YALL KNOW THAT," he stated. "YALL FING KNOW THAT AND SITTING LAUGHING AT THE FING INTERNET ON INSTAGRAM. THIS MAN GAVE HIS LIFE TO US. THIS MY IDOL. THIS MY HERO."
A further tweet from West said: "PUFF GET ONE CALL A MORNING."

Kanye West is publicly demanding the release of Sean Combs from prison via Twitter.
In addition to criminal charges, Diddy is confronting multiple civil lawsuits from alleged victims.
In a recent legal document, a former adult entertainer from Las Vegas accused Combs of directing him to engage in 'acts that were outside the scope of the agreed-upon performance and limitations set by plaintiff and his agency'.
It also claims, "Combs gravely exploited plaintiff, effectively imprisoning him and controlling him through surreptitious surveillance and filming."
Combs' attorney has denied these additional allegations.
He told Rolling Stone: "No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex-trafficked anyone - man or woman, adult or minor.
"Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to separate fact from fiction, and Mr. Combs is confident that he will prevail in court."
